My latest little venture. Submissions as well as critique welcome

Nice clean design, easy to navigate around the site. Which is very important for this kind of site as god knows who will be using it and their levels of internetability could be disastrous.

Is that an OS package you used or is it all self coded?

I can't make out your logo...To me to looks like an alien robbing a Euro symbol.

 

[mneylon]

The logo is a euro symbol being carried by a "man"... it may not be that clear

I can't program, so I'm using the same software as I used on http://www.whmarket.com

Looks very nice i have to say.
You have that domain for a long time don't you?

I love it, except the logo - not too clear, but does the job


BTW you have an error reading the xml:

ENN have chosen the site as their weekly pick

 

[louie]

Who the hack is ENN?

 

[mneylon]

http://www.enn.ie/
It's one of the few Irish sites dedicated to technology news

http://www.enn.ie/reviews.html - the web pick

 

[louie]

I found it in google. Nice one.
How are you going to bust it up?

 

[mneylon]

What do you mean?

 

[mneylon]

At the suggestion of an industry colleague I've added an "about" page.

Are there any other obvious things that I'm missing?
